The fact that the media reports it doesn't excuse that its happening. Media can't report stuff that doesn't happen.

Whether the media reports it or not, he's still breaking the law an awful lot.

That's right. And, this situation is much more significant than his other brushes with the law.

He was in a domestic altercation with his soon to be ex-wife and another person. He did something in that altercation that warranted the police taking him into custody for an investigation. This is pretty serious, even if he isn't charged with anything.

If Zimmerman will go to these lengths in an altercation with his wife, I wonder how far he'd take it with a 17 year old kid he chased in the dark and the rain?

Whether he ever would of ended up killing someone if he had never ran into Martin is extremely hard to say, there's a good chance not. However, since he did kill Martin, he's spiralling.

For this to be happening so soon after the "good news", i.e. being found not guilty of murder, shows a lot of instability.

Anyone that resists arrest with violence against a police officer is just generally unstable IMO. Even if it's later reduced. That's just not normal or well-balanced behavior. If you'll get violent with a police officer ...
